A cell utilises the following reaction: ...

A cell utilises the following reaction:
`2CO^(3+) (aq)+Zn(s) to 2CO^(2+)(aq)+Zn^(2+) (aq)`
What is the effect on cell emf of each of the following changes?
The size or area of Zn (s) electrode is doubled

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The emf is an intensive property and so the size of the electrode shall not affect the emf of the cell.
